What it does

Profiling runs, average duration, memory and failure counts for every task
Collision guard heavy jobs never run over themselves, overlaps are logged as skipped
Stall recovery runs stuck past five minutes are closed out and re-queued
Fatal capture PHP fatals inside a cron run are recorded rather than lost
Alerts email and webhook, throttled to one per hook per ten minutes
Real cron a REST endpoint with rotatable keys and ready-made crontab recipes
Retention instrumentation kept in an indexed table for as long as you choose

WP-Cron only fires when somebody loads a page, and when a scheduled job goes wrong it usually does so silently. Cron-Sentry profiles every task, stops heavy ones colliding, closes out runs that have stalled, and tells you when something has actually failed.

It also gives you a REST endpoint so a real system crontab can drive the schedule instead, with copy-and-paste recipes for setting it up.
